Cats are smarter than us in many ways.

When my girls were little, I used to tell them that Santa was a shapeshifter, like Odo from Deep Space Nine, and he came in under the door. It worked! Laughing

Thanks Aussietrekker, as if we haven't got enough to worry about now we've got to look out for bloody shape shifters coming under the doors. Very Happy

Hi Carol,
Yep still getting aftershocks but not too violent. Quite a lot of buildings will have to come down, some historic ones in the CBD were hit bad. They just came round and knocked down my chimney because it was unstable. Apart from that all's good. It's pretty well organised here, the country is prone to quakes but not usually this big. My daughter in Brisbane was in a panic for a while but she's settled down now.
Life's pretty much back to normal.
Hope you are all well over there, the only shaking over there will be Micks bum while he's dancing won't it. Very Happy

Cheers
Kev

Very true. I'm giving serious thought to going back to the country I wish I'd never left. Brisbane would be nice at this time of year.
Mick's a year older than me which explains why he's grumpy, I've got another year to go before I reach Grumpy Age. Very Happy

I've still got some dancing to do. Cool

Kev
